Covering a range of topics in modern history, the free classroom-ready resources on this site have been designed to introduce students to working with archive content. Asking important questions of recent history such as ‘Could Britain have done more to help the Jews in the Second World War?’ and ‘Did nuclear weapons help to make the world safer between 1945 and 1951?’, the investigations encourage students to engage with primary documents, making history more accessible and developing critical research skills.
